- [53633209] Thu, Aug 09, 2007, 18:18

If you already play Fanball Real Leagues and are looking for a home for your 2nd team, we have openings in our league. Several Gurupies are in the league to include Species and Deepsnapper.

We currently have one vacant team and three teams who haven't activated for this season so might have up to four slots.

If you want to join, please post your email addy and I will send you the league name and password.


More info:
12 team league. Currently set up as a keeper league where each team keeps 5 players (1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 K/Def, and one additional players that can be QB/RB/WR/TE/K/DEF)

Each team's starting lineup will be made up from the following at each position:
QB 1, RB 1, WR 2, TE 1, PK 1, TM 1, and Flex 1
The Flex position can either be a RB, WR or TE.

Scoring Rules:

4 points for every TD passed.
Any passing TD of 40-79 yards will include a 2 point bonus.
Any passing TD of 80+ yards will include a 4 point bonus.
6 points for every TD rushed.
Any rushing TD of 40-79 yards will include a 2 point bonus.
Any rushing TD of 80+ yards will include a 4 point bonus.
6 points for every TD received.
Any receiving TD of 40-79 yards will include a 2 point bonus.
Any receiving TD of 80+ yards will include a 4 point bonus.

Performance (yardage) Scoring -
1 point for every 20 yards passed.
-2 points for every interception thrown.
1 point for every 10 yards rushed.
1 point for every 10 yards received.

2 points for every conversion passed, rushed, or received.
1 point for every PAT made.
3 points for every FG of 0-39 yards.
4 points for every FG of 40-49 yards.
6 points for every FG of 50+ yards

Defensive and Special Teams Scoring
(The following scoring applies to the complete team and not the player performing the score.)
6 points for every TD scored. (TD's made after an interception, kick-off return, field goal block, punt return, fumble recovery)
1 point for every fumble recovery.
4 points for every safety.
2 points for every Interception.
2 points for every sack.

Very simple rules and fun format. For those who haven't played this format, it does cost 10 bucks for two teams but the site is very reliable and the league winner gets two free teams next season.

I'd be new to fanball, but I'm a 'seasoned' fantasy football fanaddict. I'd be interested in trying a new site if you still have an open slot.

Wiggs, I sent you the password. My email is still tbraiders "at" gmail.com. Google mail has been acting funky lately.

Bluzy, register at Fanball. Once you are registered and have your teams, hit me with an email and I will open a slot for you and send the league password so that you can put one of your teams in this league.

It's not a money league. Fanball does charge $9.95 for two teams, but the league has no fees or pay-outs.

Good deal. Hook him up with the password and tell him to pick a team. I am going to open the other three teams tomorrow, so 4 teams left to fill. If he joins we need three more. I sent an email to Bluzy so if he joins we need two more.

Sorry guys- after some difficulty I found it but I didn't realize it was a keeper league so I am afraid I am out.

I know a couple people wanted to keep it a keeper league, but with 50% turnover (6 new members) it is going to have to be a redraft. I know deepsnapper and I are both okay with that and I think Species will be as well. Honestly, I think all the holdovers will be okay with that. I shot you an email as well.

Well that's the way the ball bounces......but I would have rather kept it a keepers since I felt I had finally amassed a good roster of keepers.

No biggie though.

Redraft is fine with me. The problem with the 2 teams remaining is coming up with 5 keepers in the Fanball format using the wildcard keeper feature. 4 wasn't a problem, but there really wasn't a 5th keeper on either team IMO.

We all bow to the superior drafting skills of Endangered Species. (;-Þ)

(now where did I place that darn xm107) ;)

Hey guys, thanks for the invite to the league. I'm cool with a redraft or keepers. Whatever the current majority of the league members are comfortable with will work for me. It's all good. :-) Looking forward to the draft!

I thought I'd post over here and make sure replying didn't screw anythin up. lol

4 September at 9:00 PM EST is fine with me. As long as nobody is depending on a WW for the first game. Which I doubt.

I'm not playing fanball again. I've cut back on the amount of leagues I play to two keeper leagues (G24 and RG14) and one stupid yahoo league with some Army buddies.

loki - this league expired with TB as some leagues do sometimes......

I'm in that other league (APFL) and if an opening comes up, I can let you know, but it's full ATM.
